Paul McCartney performed at the Estádio Olímpico João Havelange in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on 22 May 2011.
It was the 36th concert of the Up And Coming Tour, which lasted for 38 dates between March 2010 and June 2011, and the first of two consecutive nights in Rio de Janeiro.
The two shows at the Engenhão, as the stadium is commonly known, brought to a close the South American leg of his Up And Coming Tour.
The setlist was identical to his recent show in Santiago, Chile, aside from the omission of ‘My Love’.
McCartney’s band was Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens (vocals, keyboards, guitar, percussion, harmonica), Brian Ray (vocals, guitar, bass), Rusty Anderson (vocals, guitar), and Abe Laboriel Jr (vocals, drums).
